More about The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald… Written in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is often referred to as "The Great American Novel," and as the quintessential work which captures the mood of the "Jazz Age” – both its decadence and excess. Jay Gatsby the self-made, self-invented millionaire embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem. Amazon.com

Review
The Lodge Restaurant of Castle Hills, once the Slimp Estate Mansion, was built in 1929 as a private home nestled on 44 acres on the highest hill in the area. The Mansion was originally referred to as the “Castle on the Hill” and later became the namesake for the city of Castle Hills. Now surrounded by two and a half acres of gnarled oak trees, The Lodge Restaurant is a secret hill country escape nestled in the heart of the city.

Guests will learn about the previous inhabitants that still haunt the halls of the Estate today, while enjoying menu items from Dady's 4-Diamond Rated New American menu including an array of the freshest meats, poultry, seafood and produce, prepared utilizing country Italian techniques with French influences.
